I've actually been working on this (for Kronolith) the past few days.  
You have two observable events that pertain to this with desktop  
notifications, onclick and onclose. Currently, the 'onclose' event  
(which is fired when closing the notification without clicking the  
link/text/open button) snoozes the event. Clicking the the  
link/text/open fires the onclick event and currently dismisses the  
event's alarm. In both cases a new notification *should* be shown  
(works in everything except safari right now) stating what occurred.

I tried implementing it so that clicking the link actually opened the  
event, but couldn't get a workflow that I liked. What was happening  
was that clicking the link would open the event (should this be in the  
current window, a new window?) and then trigger yet another  
notification. The only way to avoid that would be to dismiss/snooze  
the event first - and the user might not know which he wants yet until  
he views the event. Ideally it would be great if we could have  
multiple links/buttons in the notification, but that's not available  
in the Notification API.

Anyway, I'll do similar logic for Nag, unless you have any input into  
the workflow...
